4.4 Troubleshooting
Probable Solution
1. There is no power in the system. Power
LED does not shine; the fan of the
power supply does not work
2. Indicator light on keyboard does not
shine.
1. Make sure power cable is securely
plugged in.
2. Replace
cable.
3. Contact technical support.
System is inoperative. Keyboard lights are
on, power indicator lights are lit, and hard
drives are running.
Using even pressure on both ends of the
DIMM, press down firmly until the module
snaps into place.
System does not boot from a hard disk drive,
but can be booted from optical drive.
1. Check cable running from disk to disk
controller board. Make sure both ends
are securely plugged in; check the
drive type in the standard CMOS
setup.
2. Backing up the hard drive is
extremely important. All hard disks
are capable of breaking down at any
time.
System only boots from an optical drive.
Hard disks can be read, applications can be
used, but system fails to boot from a hard
disk.
1. Back up data and applications files.
2. Reformat the hard drive. Re-install
applications and data using backup
disks.
Screen message shows “Invalid
Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”
Review system’s equipment. Make sure
correct information is in setup.
System cannot boot after user installs a
second hard drive.
1. Set master/slave jumpers correctly.
2. Run SETUP program and select
correct drive types. Call the drive
manufacturers for compatibility with
other drives.
CPU Overheated
If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for seconds, that means the CPU
protection function has been activated.
When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown automatically to avoid a
damage of the CPU, and the system may not power on again.
In this case, please double check:
1.
The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.
2.
CPU fan is rotated normally.
3.
CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.
After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection function.
1.
Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
2.
Wait for seconds.
3.
Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.
Or you can:
1.
Clear the CMOS data.
2.
Wait for seconds.
3.
Power on the system again.
